Home cooking lessons
We have created our cooking videos and lessons so that an essential skill and method can be delivered to a range of learners that enables them to be able to:
- use cooking skills to make home-cooked food that does not use pre-prepared, ready-cooked food
- understand the value of passing on information about home cooking
- be able to plan a nutritious, home-cooked meal using basic ingredients
- be able to prepare, cook and present a nutritious, home-cooked meal using basic ingredients
- understand how to cook economically at home
